He also took my unfinished cabinet and is going to "finish" it for me.....YEAH!!!! I sure wish he lived closer I would have him do more, hee hee! It's probably better for Him that he doesn't, LOL. Anyway hope you all had a great weekend and I will post tomorrow!

This post is a little different. If you have followed me for very long then you know that it may be a while between posts. I thought I would explain. I am a 39 year old wife of a Pastor (and my BFF), SAHM mom of three amazing boys and a sufferer of FMD (Fibromyalgia Disorder). I was Dx about 4 years ago. I had numerous and seemingly unrelated symptoms. After my diagnosis I lost 55# (I was about 55 # over-weight). Exercised like a mad women, cut sugar and was feel a million bucks. But alas as time waned on I got really busy and lost the drive and eventually gained back 25# and stopped almost completely working out. Now I could start to feel really sorry for myself except for the fact that I KNOW if I get back on track I can do it again. I guess I am writing this as an encouragement to myself and others. Working out (my RA Dr. Told me 20-30 minutes (everyday, HAH) with my heat-rate between 130-140. I think I did it 4 days a week eventually up to an hour. I slept better, did not need naps and a lot less pain.

The reason I started posting this today is because ( am sick to death of being in pain and exhaustion EVERY single day. To this I say no more. Starting tomorrow I am going to make a change. I love hanging out with my kids and hubby, being active, practicing sports with the boys and of course anything with Paper. I want more than anything to go to be the Mom, Wife & Friend the Lord had intended me to be and use my gifts and talents to glorify Him.

So if you read my Blog please pray for me that I can get my act together and get it done.

If you have any questions or just want to leave me a comment please feel free! Thanks for reading and have a wonderful and Blessed Day.

I made this for my youngest son's teacher. I filled it with tiny candy bars. Too cute! The paper, ribbon and apple (sticker) are from Imaginisce, the box and circle tag are from the Cutting Cafe. You should check them out!

This is where I keep most of my Scrapbooking Movies, Lol....Chick Flicks and some others as well and their are two of them!This is my brand new counter top! I am sooo excited. I spray painted the handles to match! All I need to do now is paint the white under trim black!!!!This shelf is right in front of my Desk (which I am planning on replacing this summer)

Side View!This is mostly BIA, Punches, Adhesives, 8 1/2 x 11 paper (in the plastic containers) The file organizer has some more 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock from PTI and the polka dot basket has 12x12 patterned paper that I have either recently purchased or need to organize.I finally found a basket for here that I love!!! I got it at our Local Homegoods Store. There is my favorite Aqua ribbon, Twine, Primas and Misc. small embellies. (the small glass jars were my Grandmother's old Rx (medicine) from the pharmacy. When she passed away I inheritated alot of her things....I love it. There was a lot of ribbom, fabric, buttons, pins, the small glass bottle, lace and so much more. I have used some of it on things for my niece's(her grt. grandaughters) She would have loved to see what I do now!!! I miss her so...Here is my Jet max storage. I have six of them for now and it holds most of my Patterned Paper and Scraps. The "Chris" sign my dad made me when I was a little girl!I found the bag at Homegoods also, I was so excited that it matched and it was only $6.99...Yeah!These are those Target Jars and they hold some of my Ribbon. I thought it would be fun to display some to add some more color!These used to be Juice Plus+ shake mix containers I had from when I was doing JP+. I covered them with the coordinating fabric in the room. The plastic box contains the Cricut pens, extra blades and the deep blade housing unit!

This is my Cricut drawer. I do have to write the names of the carts on the tops of them still. But this is so easy to use!Those glue sticks are the repositional sticks that I used on my mats when they are no longer sticky. Well their are a few more picks to come next week after we finish the Magnet Boards.
